About

If you are facing federal or state criminal charges you deserve your best defense.Choosing a lawyer is a big deal. Your liberty is in our hands. Whether you have been caught in a bad circumstance or made a series of bad decisions, I have seen it before and you don’t have to face it alone. I will put my experience of representing thousands of people in state and federal criminal court to work for you and I intend to get you the best possible result.When I worked at the Federal Public Defender’s Office while in law school at the University of Iowa, I had the realization that no matter the crime, everyone deserves a skilled, intelligent advocate working tirelessly to give them their best defense. If I were charged with a crime I would expect that, so why shouldn’t you? I believe that every person deserves the best possible defense. You are probably nervous, worried, scared and likely angry. That is natural. You want someone to deal with the problem and help you get the best outcome. That’s where I come in.After my summers in the Federal Defender Office in San Francisco and the Federal Defender Office in Des Moines, I became an Assistant Public Defender in Tampa, FL. For the last several years I have been in private practice. I’ve represented thousands of clients facing charges ranging from simple assault to complex federal drug conspiracies to sexual assault, burglary, robbery and beyond. I’ve taken many of those clients to jury and bench trials. I have also argued some of their cases before the Iowa Supreme Court and Iowa Court of Appeals. It is likely that I have handled a case not unlike yours.WHAT TO EXPECTWhen I represent you, you can expect me to: communicate, counsel and advocate.Communication. Communication is the key to any good relationship. Yes, I am busy. It is my intention to return phone calls and emails as quickly as possible. I also make it a priority to explain issues in your case and break them down so you understand them. Let’s face it, the law isn’t simple or easy (that’s why I went to law school) and that is why I am here.Counsel. They don’t call us counselors for nothing. I am a straight shooter. I’m going to give you the most well reasoned advice I can give, even if you dislike it. I often counsel clients about steps they can take while their case is pending–to better themselves and their case. My job is to counsel you to the best outcome, whatever that may be.Advocate. My job is to dig into your case and make sure no stone is left unturned. No record left unsubpoenaed. No motion left unfiled. Getting great plea deals, winning motions to suppress and getting cases dismissed requires creativity, skill and ingenuity in the approach to your defense.  This becomes particularly important in trial or if I need to take your case before the Iowa Supreme Court.Choosing a lawyer is a big deal. Your liberty is in our hands. It can be an overwhelming experience. While I cannot promise you what the outcome of your case will be, I can promise that I will put my experience and dedication to work for you.  I look forward to your call!

Nick is a very down to earth and understanding attorney that helped us immensely! Even though we had a small case, he made us a priority and never stood down. In meeting Nick, you could tell immediately that he enjoyed his job and was there to truly help people.

When I had the misfortune of being arrested on a suspected DUI, I was referred to Nick Sarcone by a colleague. His office responded quickly and put me at ease with their immediate grasp of the situation. He and his office guided me through all of the appropriate steps in preparation to make a defense, which greatly eased my anxiety and concerns over the process. When we presented our defense in court, his demeanor was balanced, and his arguments thorough and concise. An expert witness was hired, on his recommendation, whose testimony was absolutely critical for my defense. I was ultimately found not guilty by the jury. Being on trial is not a fun experience, one can expect to be wracked by anxiety and doubt. Mr. Sarcone was the guy I needed with me in the foxhole. While I don't plan to ever put myself in such a position again, I can whole heartedly recommend Mr. Sarcone as an outstanding defender to anyone who finds themself in need of one.
